I bought my 1972 conversion 10 years ago and never regret the decision.
Sad part is that all 3 boys moved out of the house and don't need big rig anymore.
No problem with parts supply for 40 years old Prevost.
Had the engine sitting for 3 years lately and took it 3 seconds to fire up on old fuel.
Detroit engine is still having about 900,000 miles of life in it.
So while DP generally are build to much higher standards than gasoline MH, you will find huge differences between cheap DP and commercial conversions.
Go to Airstream forum to see beautiful 60 years old RV, or to Bluebird forum to see how owners love 50 years old front diesels.
